About Carmageddon Max Pack
Carmageddon is a freeform driving game where you race, wreck opponents, and rack up points by mowing down pedestrians and cows across destructible real-world environments. It's the anarchic, physics-pioneering demolition derby that was banned worldwide for letting you choose chaos over racing, complete with power-ups, 30 unlockable vehicles, and cops that hunt you down when you get too wild.
Carmageddon is the original freeform driving sensation, where pedestrians (and cows!) equal points, and your opponents are a bunch of crazies in a twisted mix of automotive killing machines. The game features anarchic drive-wherever-you-like gameplay and over-the-top surreal comedy violence. It’s the racing game where racing is for wimps.Now the same Mac & PC classic that was BANNED AROUND THE WORLD is back!
Carmageddon features real-world environments that have been turned into killing fields, where the locals stay out on the streets at their peril. As well as using your car as a weapon, every level is sprinkled generously with power-ups that have a vast variety of mad effects, adding a whole extra level of craziness to the proceedings. In every event you have the option to “play it your way”… Waste all your opponents, kill every pedestrian, or (perish the thought) complete all the laps. Oh and watch out – the cops in their super-tough armoured patrol vehicles are lurking, and if they catch you being bad they’ll be down on you like several tons of cold pork.
"Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Members of the public, you have ONE minute to reach minimum safe distance!"- Crazy range of vehicles and drivers, each with their own personality and driving style.
- The game that pioneered true 3D physics,
- The game that pioneered dynamic vehicle damage
- The game that pioneered splattering grannies. And cows.
- In fact, splatter a wide range of seriously scared pedestrians.
- 28 dangerously deranged Opponents
- 11 wildly exhilarating Environments
- Career Mode featuring 36 satisfyingly violent Levels
- Race and Wreck opponents to unlock 30 playable cars!
- Over 40 fun-packed Power Ups and “Power Downs”.
- Great open world track design allowing complete freedom to explore.
- Hidden bonus areas to find.
- Ludicrously satisfying, arcade-style gameplay.
The aim is for the player to work their way up the ranking system, from 99th place to first. The player vehicle is pitted against a number of computer controlled competitors, in locations such as cities, mines and desert towns. Levels can be beaten in one of three ways:- Completing all the laps of the race course, as one would a normal racing game.
- "Wasting" (wrecking) all the opponents vehicles.
- Killing all the pedestrians in the area.
Each level has a time limit, but more time may be gained by passing through checkpoints, collecting powerups, damaging/destroying the competitors' cars, and by running over pedestrians (with bonuses awarded for style).
These actions also reward the player with Credits, which can be used to make instant repairs or recover the car (after falling down a chasm, for example). They can also be used to upgrade Armour, Power and Offense stats in the Parts Shop between races. This is also the time to switch which car to drive if others have been obtained.
As well as opponents partaking in the 'race', some levels also contain a number of heavily armored Cop Cars, which will activate their sirens and hound the player when provoked. They can be attacked and destroyed, but do not count as opponents. A single "Super Squad Car" exists in one level, and it can be claimed if destroyed.
An Action Replay with multiple camera viewpoints is available at any point during a race.
Carmageddon won the “Game of the Year” trophy in the 1997 PC Zone Reader awards. Carmageddon 1 & 2 were “Driving Game of the Year” 1997/1998.
SELECTED REVIEWS OF THE ORIGINAL GAME
Originally released for the PC in 1997, Carmageddon was an instant hit and the titles went on to sell over 2 million copies worldwide. Here’s what a sample of the gaming press thought at the time:
“Carmageddon is visceral, violent, vehicular fun...” - GameSpot 8.8 out of 10
“Carmageddon, to get straight to the point, is one of the best computer games I've ever played… Carmageddon is God!” - Duncan McDonald 95% Classic Award PC Zone Magazine
“Carmageddon is one of those games that only come along once in a blue moon. An essential purchase.” - Escape Magazine 6 out of 6
“The gameplay is spot on and anyone with a dark enough sense of humour should give it a go.” - Computer Gaming World 4 out of 5
“So next time you gun down coppers on GTA VI, just remember, Carmageddon’s controversy was there first, and you have a lot to thank it for.” - RetroGarden
Carmageddon is the first of a series of graphically violent driving-oriented video games. It was conceived and developed by Stainless Games, published by SCi and released June 30, 1997 on PC & Mac.It was, and remains, a poster child for video game controversy. The controversy surrounded the game's central premise; that of earning reward for running down innocent pedestrians.
The game was notable for its realistic and ground-breaking physics, and for its in-game action replay features. It was also one of the earliest examples of a sandbox 3D driving game, and may have influenced other later games including the Driver and Grand Theft Auto series.
ABOUT STAINLESS GAMES
Stainless was founded in 1994 by Patrick Buckland, a veteran of the games industry going back to the Jurassic period of 1982, and Neil Barnden, who used to have hair like a mammoth. A team of 8 worked on the original Carmageddon at Stainless, and 5 are still with the company today, although a couple of them are now kept manacled in a small padded room in the cellar.
Stainless Games now employs around one hundred mad, dedicated people of assorted gender, height and width. They can all be found dangling precariously from a small chalky rock just off the South Coast of England.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
It works on Windows 11, mid high tier. If the glide 3dfx is lagging and total ♥♥♥♥. Go to steam folder where Carma1 is, go to DOSBOX and find the .dll of glide2x and just rename it to anything else and it'll run. Remember, this is an OLD GAME. Textures may undulate when going slow, and it may only run in 60 frames. But this is the original that started it and what SCI which they had when they remade it with their recent game.1 found this helpful
Full of issues but a lot of fun. I had trouble getting it to start reliably. Sometimes the screen would just go blank and other times it worked. Changing between 3dfx and software rendering seemed to help sometimes. It's also a very low resolution game especially in software rendering mode but it still looks good because it has a lot of character. The cars wobble a lot and are hard to steer and it's annoying but I think it's part of what makes the game so much fun. The problem is that you can get motion sickness and it affected me despite never getting motion sickness from any other games. There is a lot of violence. You have to ram pedestrians for points and the game just celebrates violence in a way that I have not seen in any other game. If you can get it to work and don't get motion sickness then it's a fun game and it's hard to believe it came out in 1997 because it's better than a lot of racing games these days. It's begging for a remake.1 found this helpful
Carmageddon's gameplay has some flaws but overall the game is hilarious. The driving can be difficult sometimes, but the insane stunts make up for it. In Carmageddon, races can be completed by either destroying your opponents' cars, driving over all the pedestrians that populate a level or by completing the race conventionally by driving. Towards the end of the game, the other drivers' cars become very durable and destroying them all becomes a tedious task. Since driving over all pedestrians is also an incredibly tedious task, the only option to complete a race becomes the conventional way of just driving and finishing enough laps. Yet Carmageddon is not supposed to be a conventional racing game. Carmaggeddon has also the tendency to become very boring towards the end, since the race completion requirements demand too much repetitive grinding to get. Despite its flaws, Carmaggedon is an important piece of video game history and it has a lot of enjoyable gameplay in it.
Carmageddon Max Pack is a gloriously unruly piece of racing-game history that still distinguishes itself through a simple idea: winning a race does not necessarily require behaving like a racer. Developed by Stainless Games Ltd and published by THQ Nordic, the game originally arrived in 1997 and built its identity around unrestricted driving, vehicular combat, exploration, and exaggerated violence. Instead of presenting carefully regulated motorsport, it drops players into open environments populated by aggressive opponents, pedestrians, animals, hazards, and opportunities for destruction. Its deliberately offensive sense of humor will not appeal to everyone, but that provocative personality is inseparable from what makes Carmageddon memorable. The fundamental appeal comes from having multiple ways to complete an event. Following the course and finishing the required laps is legitimate, but players can also concentrate on wrecking every rival vehicle or eliminating the pedestrians scattered around the environment. This transforms races into miniature automotive sandboxes. A straightforward attempt to reach checkpoints can suddenly turn into a prolonged demolition battle, while cur…
The best game I have ever played....
Carmageddon is a very unique car game. I call it a car game because It's not really a racing game but it's also not a car combat game either - it's a mixture of both. You can win in three ways, by winning the race, by killing all the other racers, or by killing all the pedestrians on any given level. It's actually very open-ended, you can choose to play it however you want but the really neat thing is you can just do this by changing your playstyle whenever you want during the level, it's not like a gamemode select or anything you just do it while playing. For example, you could start a game by trying to kill the other racers and then halfway through decide you want to race, so you just start going through the checkpoints instead and the other racers AI will literally change and start going for racing you instead of fighting you. It's really cool, I've never seen anything like it. The game is more of a sandbox playground, the levels are very big open-worldish levels with a set racetrack going through parts of it. You can totally ignore the racing "roads" for a lack of a better term and go fight people on the backroads if you feel like it, and that's this games greatest strength. …
